How to Draw a Leaf - Easy Step By Step

 

 

 

 

 

Remember these tips to help you produce a good sketch:

 

• Make your sketch larger than the leaf really is - try to fill your page.

• Sketch with small, light strokes of the pencil - don’t press too hard before you are sure you are happy with the look of your leaf.

• Sketch out the basic shapes and outlines before adding any details.

• Look closely at the details on your leaf.

• Don’t forget about shading.

 

Send us a picture of your finished sketch! Have fun!
